In the vast sea of heartbreaking dog tales, this one will definitely bring tears to your eyes.
Maru, the sweetest dog, is the main protagonist. And, if he could talk, I’m one-hundred percent sure that he’d trade all the fame he gained for different life circumstances.
Leashed in an isolated location near a dangerous cliff, Maru wasted ten years of life due to neglect. Yet, he never stopped hoping that a better tomorrow would come!
Years Of Solitude And Heartbreak
Maru’s story begins fourteen years earlier when he was just a little pup. At only a few months of age, his owner bought him at a very high price and kept him in the family for four years. Then, a heartbreak came!
As another owner was entrusted with Maru, he decided to keep him leashed outside. Never in his wildest dreams could this sweet boi imagine that he would spend most of his life imprisoned.
He was kept on a short leash in a small structure that served as a dog house. It was so close to the cliff that his life was in danger on a daily basis.
“Over the years, we‘ve encountered several abandoned dogs, but this location was one of the worst. The small structure, which seemed like a house to the dog, was on the verge of a cliff,” the rescue team wrote on Instagram.
Poor Maru spent years huddled under a small sheet of metal, which basically was a roof. Under there, he was hiding from heavy rains and the cold weather. And, sadly, he was forced to go potty there, too.
The good people of WEACT rushed into a rescue mission as soon as they heard his story. What struck them the most was the fact that Maru was out there for years with absolutely no one to help him.
